ARTHUR F. TAIT, N. A. WILLIAM HART, N. A. 


AMERICAN, 1819-1905 AMERICAN, 1828-1894 


BY ARTHUR F. TAIT, N.A. AND WILLIAM HART, N.A. 


[NUMBER 232 | 


232 QUAIL 

A hen with three chicks in a clearing in the foreground. Distant farm- 
house and wheatfields. Autumn scene with stacked sheafs in the fields. 
Landscape by William Hart and the birds by A. F. Tait. 
Canvas, signed by both artists, lower left. 

Height, 1014 inches; width, 131 mches 
“In disposing of the studio effects of William Hart, several studies of 
wild game by A. F. Tait were found in various states of completion. It 
was then suggested that the two artists in their younger days had col- 
laborated in many of the original paintings, which were afterwards sold 
to Currier, and from which the lithographic stone was made. Finding 
this painting of the “Quail, Hen and Chicks” verifies this fact. William 
Hart furnished the landscapes and Arthur F. Tait the game subjects.”
